right i shall do this in simple terms

1, CAPITALS on forums is known as SHOUTING - thus impolite - an unwritten rule, but it has been mentioned in a few of your threads and perhaps you have missed it.

2, you have asked for advice, and they are all answering it, all be it in their own unique ways, ( you learn these over time )  but if its something you dont like you START SHOUTING AGAIN AND THE MUGGING OFF commences.

3,  even when its sound advice, it appears ( to me anyway ) that if you dont like it you get all abusive and the swearing and telling people to fcuk off - not a good way to get further help

4 the biggest thing, this is an open forum, people have the right to give positive and negative feedback - thats how it works

and remember



this place can and will save you a fortune in help, tips, discounts, assistance etc etc etc  :smiley: but a LOT of the people answering have their own way of doing it.

if you dont like the way they post IGNORE it, rather than rising to it.

you have a lot more to GAIN this way compared to the knowledge you will MISS OUT on otherwise

 :smiley:

Im trying to give you advice bud.. DH is well known for giving advice even if he is blunt in doing it he is a knowledgeable man especially on track cars..

Don't put harnesses on a strut brace you need a cage with a harness bar.. a normal general rear strut brace is sh!te as its just bolted on.. where i would recommend just getting one made up and welded on as then it will really STIFFEN up the rear end..

A cage would be one of the first things on my list.. also i like cages with door bars.. harness bars.. bulk head bars.. pretty much every kind of bar except one that sells alcohol... they aren't expensive for what they do and one day may save your life..

I tihnk its good taking a not great car and working to get it to track worthy and a mk3 set up properly and 'properly' being the key word can handle well on a track.. At the moment if its just for a laugh then your doing well.. if you want to embarass some people then you need to do all the things that have been listed..

Also get some switches put in there a track is not a track car without some nice flick switches  :smiley:

Also have you considered a plumbed in fire extinguisher bay and cabin ?? or just bay..

I go to a few Drift days with my friends who drift and they're cars are looked at quite closely and everything other than extinguisher is checked even battery cut.. bolts holding a wheel on.. etc etc.. so if serious its a lot of work buddy.. and more importantly a lot of money..

Forget about power and weight just stick it on a track and see what it feel like..

Maisy, nothing sarcastic in DH's post there.... That comes from the heart, doesn't want the poor fella to hurt himself. And this dodgy harness setup has come up quite a bit in other posts so it must be getting a little tiresome for him now.   :grin:

Mmmaaatttttyyyyggggg... You need to chill...


And mods please move this to dub rides.

I reckon he's a troll, possible from the mk6 section... :lipsrsealed: :grin:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
